Airport contact
Gravel-strip aerodrome serving the small francophone fishing village of Tête-à-la-Baleine on Quebec's Lower North Shore (Basse-Côte-Nord) — part of the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent (pop. under 150), with no road access, reachable only by air, boat, or winter snowmobile trail. Air Liaison provides the community's essential scheduled air link (historically supported by Quebec's PAAR regional-fare subsidy program, though the province terminated that funding agreement with the carrier in July 2026 amid an audit dispute over alleged false declarations/overbilling).

Air Liaison
Air Liaison is the sole scheduled carrier serving Tête-à-la-Baleine (ZTB), a road-isolated Lower North Shore (Basse-Côte-Nord) community reachable only by air, boat, or winter snowmobile trail; no FBO or third-party ground handler is listed for this 500 m gravel-strip airport in aviation directories, so Air Liaison self-handles its own turnarounds.
